For example, a tube with a needle is connected to the drug solution administration device as an administration device for transferring the drug solution from the drug solution administration device into the patient's body.

 ガイド筒部22は、中空円筒形に形成されており、先端筒部16dと同心状に配置されている。図2において、ガイド筒部22の外周面22aは、外径が先端方向に向かって減少するテーパ状である。なお、ガイド筒部22の外周面22aは、外径が軸方向に一定のストレート形状であってもよい。ガイド筒部22の先端面22bは、先端筒部16dの先端面よりも先端側に位置する。 The guide tube portion 22 is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape and is arranged concentrically with the tip tube portion 16d. In FIG. 2, the outer peripheral surface 22a of the guide cylinder part 22 is a taper shape in which an outer diameter reduces toward a front-end | tip direction. The outer peripheral surface 22a of the guide tube portion 22 may have a straight shape with an outer diameter constant in the axial direction. The distal end surface 22b of the guide cylinder portion 22 is located on the distal end side with respect to the distal end surface of the distal end cylinder portion 16d.
 図1において、ハウジング18は上面18aと底面18bを有する。薬液投与装置12は、例えば、患者の皮膚に貼り付けて使用するパッチタイプとして構成され得る。このようなパッチタイプの場合、ハウジング18の底面18bには、皮膚に貼着可能なシート状の貼着部(粘着部)が設けられる。薬液投与装置12の初期状態で貼着部の貼着面には剥離可能な保護シートが貼り付けられる。 In FIG. 1, the housing 18 has a top surface 18a and a bottom surface 18b. The drug solution administration device 12 may be configured as a patch type that is used by being attached to the skin of a patient, for example. In the case of such a patch type, the bottom surface 18b of the housing 18 is provided with a sheet-like sticking part (adhesive part) that can be stuck to the skin. In the initial state of the chemical liquid administration device 12, a peelable protective sheet is stuck on the sticking surface of the sticking part.
 なお、薬液投与装置12は、ハウジング18の底面18bにフックやクリップ等の装着具が設けられ、患者の衣服(例えば、ズボンのウエスト部分等)に引っ掛ける等して取り付けるタイプとして構成されてもよい。また、薬液Mが充填された筒体16と、筒体16内に摺動可能に配置されたガスケットと、押し子機構は、予め組み合わさっており、使用時にハウジング18に挿入される形態でもよい。この場合、押し子機構を筒体16に装着するための装着部が、押し子機構及び筒体16に設けられていることが好ましい。 The medicinal solution administration device 12 may be configured as a type in which an attachment such as a hook or a clip is provided on the bottom surface 18b of the housing 18 and attached to a patient's clothes (for example, a waist portion of trousers). . Further, the cylindrical body 16 filled with the chemical M, the gasket slidably disposed in the cylindrical body 16, and the pusher mechanism are combined in advance and may be inserted into the housing 18 at the time of use. . In this case, it is preferable that a mounting portion for mounting the pusher mechanism on the cylinder body 16 is provided in the pusher mechanism and the cylinder body 16.
 図1及び図2に示すように、薬液投与装置12は、さらに、筒体16の先端開口部16fを液密に封止する弾性材料からなる封止部材24と、筒体16の先端開口部16fが設けられた先端筒部16dに封止部材24を固定する固定部材26とを備える。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the medicinal solution administration device 12 further includes a sealing member 24 made of an elastic material that seals the distal end opening 16 f of the cylindrical body 16 in a liquid-tight manner, and a distal end opening of the cylindrical body 16. A fixing member 26 that fixes the sealing member 24 to the distal end cylindrical portion 16d provided with 16f is provided.
 封止部材24は、ゴム材やエラストマー材等の弾性樹脂材料からなり、先端筒部16dの先端面16deと密着することにより、先端開口部16fを液密に封止する栓体である。図2及び図4に示すように、封止部材24は、厚さ方向の中央部を構成する封止基部24aと、封止基部24aの先端面から先端方向に突出した先端凸部24bと、封止基部24aの基端面から基端方向に突出した基端凸部24cとを有する。 The sealing member 24 is made of an elastic resin material such as a rubber material or an elastomer material, and is a plug that seals the tip opening 16f in a liquid-tight manner by being in close contact with the tip surface 16de of the tip tube portion 16d. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the sealing member 24 includes a sealing base portion 24a that forms a central portion in the thickness direction, a tip convex portion 24b that protrudes in the tip direction from the tip surface of the sealing base portion 24a, And a base end convex portion 24c protruding in the base end direction from the base end surface of the sealing base portion 24a.
 封止基部24a、先端凸部24b及び基端凸部24cの軸方向に垂直な断面形状は、いずれも円形である。先端凸部24b及び基端凸部24cの外径は、封止基部24aの外径よりも小さい。 The cross-sectional shapes perpendicular to the axial direction of the sealing base 24a, the tip convex portion 24b, and the base end convex portion 24c are all circular. The outer diameters of the tip convex part 24b and the base end convex part 24c are smaller than the outer diameter of the sealing base part 24a.
 図2において、先端凸部24bは、固定部材26の先端よりも先端方向に突出している。封止部材24の外周部(封止基部24aの外周部)は、先端筒部16dの先端面と固定部材26の先端部内面(後述する挟持部26dの基端面)との間に挟まれて軸方向に圧縮されている。このため、封止基部24aの外周部の先端面24a1は、挟持部26dの基端面に液密に密着している。封止基部24aの外周部の基端面24a2は、先端筒部16dの先端面に液密に密着している。 In FIG. 2, the tip protrusion 24 b protrudes in the tip direction from the tip of the fixing member 26. The outer peripheral portion of the sealing member 24 (the outer peripheral portion of the sealing base portion 24a) is sandwiched between the distal end surface of the distal end cylindrical portion 16d and the inner end surface of the fixing member 26 (the proximal end surface of a clamping portion 26d described later). It is compressed in the axial direction. For this reason, the front end surface 24a1 of the outer peripheral part of the sealing base 24a is in liquid-tight contact with the base end surface of the clamping part 26d. The proximal end surface 24a2 of the outer peripheral portion of the sealing base portion 24a is in liquid-tight contact with the distal end surface of the distal end cylindrical portion 16d.
 弾性変形する前の自然状態で、先端凸部24b及び基端凸部24cは、軸方向に対称形状である。すなわち、先端凸部24b及び基端凸部24cは、外径及び封止基部24aからの突出高さが、互いに同じである。 In the natural state before elastic deformation, the tip convex portion 24b and the base end convex portion 24c are symmetrical in the axial direction. That is, the tip convex part 24b and the base end convex part 24c have the same outer diameter and the protruding height from the sealing base part 24a.
 基端凸部24cの外径は、弾性変形する前の自然状態で先端筒部16dの内径よりも大きいが、図2では基端凸部24cが弾性変形して先端筒部16dの内部に入り込んでいる(嵌合している)。このため、基端凸部24cは、先端筒部16dの内周面に液密に密着している。なお、基端凸部24cは、先端筒部16dの内周面に液密に密着しない形状でもよい。この場合、基端凸部24cの外径は、先端筒部16dの内径よりも小さくなる。また、先端凸部24bの外径は、基端凸部24cと同様に、先端筒部16dの内径よりも小さくなる。 The outer diameter of the base end convex portion 24c is larger than the inner diameter of the distal end cylindrical portion 16d in a natural state before elastic deformation, but in FIG. 2, the proximal end convex portion 24c is elastically deformed and enters the inside of the distal end cylindrical portion 16d. It is out (fitted). For this reason, the base end convex portion 24c is in liquid-tight contact with the inner peripheral surface of the distal end cylindrical portion 16d. Note that the base end convex portion 24c may have a shape that does not liquid-tightly adhere to the inner peripheral surface of the distal end cylindrical portion 16d. In this case, the outer diameter of the base end convex portion 24c is smaller than the inner diameter of the distal end cylindrical portion 16d. Further, the outer diameter of the distal convex portion 24b is smaller than the inner diameter of the distal cylindrical portion 16d, like the proximal convex portion 24c.
 固定部材26は、先端筒部16dを覆うように先端筒部16dに装着された中空円筒形の部材であり、先端筒部16dとの間に封止部材24を保持している。図5Bに示すように、固定部材26の内周面には、径方向内方に突出した係合ツメ26aが設けられている。係合ツメ26aは、周方向に間隔を置いて複数設けられている。固定部材26の周壁部26bには、係合ツメ26aの先端側に隣接する位置にツメ成型用孔部26cが設けられている。ツメ成型用孔部26cが設けられることにより、係合ツメ26aを有する固定部材26を射出成型により容易に製作することができる。 The fixing member 26 is a hollow cylindrical member attached to the distal end cylinder part 16d so as to cover the distal end cylinder part 16d, and holds the sealing member 24 between the distal end cylinder part 16d. As shown in FIG. 5B, an engagement claw 26 a protruding inward in the radial direction is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the fixing member 26. A plurality of engagement claws 26a are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. On the peripheral wall portion 26b of the fixing member 26, a claw forming hole portion 26c is provided at a position adjacent to the distal end side of the engagement claw 26a. By providing the claw molding hole 26c, the fixing member 26 having the engagement claw 26a can be easily manufactured by injection molding.
 固定部材26の先端部には、径方向内方に突出した挟持部26dが設けられている。挟持部26dの内周面によって挟持部26dの中央部を軸方向に貫通する先端孔部26d1が形成されている。固定部材26の内周面には、径方向内方に膨出した環状の係止突起26eが設けられている。 A pinching portion 26d protruding inward in the radial direction is provided at the distal end portion of the fixing member 26. A tip hole portion 26d1 that penetrates the central portion of the sandwiching portion 26d in the axial direction is formed by the inner peripheral surface of the sandwiching portion 26d. On the inner peripheral surface of the fixing member 26, an annular locking projection 26e bulging inward in the radial direction is provided.
 係止突起26eは、固定部材26が先端筒部16dに取り付けられる前に固定部材26からの封止部材24の脱落を阻止するための突起である。係止突起26eは、挟持部26dと係合ツメ26aとの間に形成されている。 The locking protrusion 26e is a protrusion for preventing the sealing member 24 from falling off the fixing member 26 before the fixing member 26 is attached to the distal end cylindrical portion 16d. The locking projection 26e is formed between the clamping portion 26d and the engagement claw 26a.
 固定部材26の外周部には、コネクタ30の後述する係合部54が係合可能な係合突起26fが設けられている。係合突起26fは、径方向外方に突出し且つ周方向に一周延在する環状に形成されている。係合突起26fは、係合ツメ26aよりも基端側に設けられている。係合突起26fは、先端筒部16dに設けられていてもよい。 An engaging protrusion 26f is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the fixing member 26 so that an engaging portion 54 (described later) of the connector 30 can be engaged therewith. The engagement protrusion 26f is formed in an annular shape that protrudes outward in the radial direction and extends around the circumference in the circumferential direction. The engagement protrusion 26f is provided on the proximal end side with respect to the engagement claw 26a. The engaging protrusion 26f may be provided on the distal end cylindrical portion 16d.

A patch portion (not shown) that is connected and can be attached to the patient's skin, and an injection needle (not shown) protruding from the patch portion are provided. The injection needle is punctured into the patient's skin.
 なお、薬液投与装置12に接続される投与器具14は上述したパッチ式の針付きチューブ15に限られず、例えば、送液チューブ32の先端に穿刺針(翼状針等)が接続されたものであってもよい。あるいは、投与器具14は、送液チューブ32を介さずに筒体16の先端筒部16dに接続可能な屈曲した針であってもよい。この場合、屈曲した針は、例えば筒体16の先端筒部16dから下方に略90°屈曲しており、薬液投与装置12の皮膚への固定(貼り付け)に伴い皮膚に対して垂直に穿刺される。 The administration device 14 connected to the drug solution administration device 12 is not limited to the above-described patch-type tube 15 with a needle. For example, a puncture needle (such as a winged needle) is connected to the tip of the liquid delivery tube 32. May be. Alternatively, the administration device 14 may be a bent needle that can be connected to the distal end cylindrical portion 16d of the cylindrical body 16 without using the liquid feeding tube 32. In this case, for example, the bent needle is bent approximately 90 ° downward from the distal end cylindrical portion 16d of the cylindrical body 16, and punctures perpendicularly to the skin as the drug solution administration device 12 is fixed (attached) to the skin. Is done.
 図2に示すように、コネクタ30は、ガイド筒部22に嵌合可能なコネクタ本体34と、コネクタ本体34に保持されるとともに封止部材24を刺通可能な針管36とを有する。コネクタ本体34は、針先36bが自由端となるように針管36を保持する基部38aを有する針ハブ部材38と、基部38aから針管36の外周面を囲むように突出するとともに針管36と略同心的に配置されたガイド受筒部40a(保護筒部)を有するガイド部材40とを備える。基部38aは、針管36が接続された針接続部42と、針接続部42と同軸上に設けられるとともに送液チューブ32が接続されたチューブ接続部44と、針接続部42の外周面から突出したフランジ部46とを備える。 As shown in FIG. 2, the connector 30 includes a connector main body 34 that can be fitted into the guide tube portion 22, and a needle tube 36 that is held by the connector main body 34 and can be pierced with the sealing member 24. The connector main body 34 has a needle hub member 38 having a base portion 38a for holding the needle tube 36 so that the needle tip 36b becomes a free end, and protrudes from the base portion 38a so as to surround the outer peripheral surface of the needle tube 36 and is substantially concentric with the needle tube 36. And a guide member 40 having a guide receiving cylinder part 40a (protective cylinder part) arranged in a conventional manner. The base portion 38a protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the needle connection portion 42, the needle connection portion 42 to which the needle tube 36 is connected, the tube connection portion 44 that is provided coaxially with the needle connection portion 42 and to which the liquid feeding tube 32 is connected. The flange portion 46 is provided.
 図6Bに示すように、針接続部42には、針管36を保持する直線状の針保持孔42aが形成されている。針保持孔42aの基端部内面には、断面が凹凸状(波形状)の粗面領域42bが設けられている。粗面領域42bが設けられているため、針管36が接着剤で針接続部42に接合される場合に、接合強度を向上させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 6B, the needle connecting portion 42 is formed with a linear needle holding hole 42a for holding the needle tube 36. On the inner surface of the proximal end portion of the needle holding hole 42a, a rough surface region 42b having a concavo-convex shape (wave shape) is provided. Since the rough surface region 42b is provided, the bonding strength can be improved when the needle tube 36 is bonded to the needle connecting portion 42 with an adhesive.
 針接続部42の基端部には、基端方向に向かって内径が増大するテーパ状凹部42cが設けられている。針管36が接着剤で針接続部42に接合される場合、テーパ状凹部42cが接着剤溜まりとして機能するため、接合強度を向上させることができる。 At the proximal end portion of the needle connecting portion 42, a tapered concave portion 42c whose inner diameter increases toward the proximal end direction is provided. When the needle tube 36 is joined to the needle connecting portion 42 with an adhesive, the tapered recess 42c functions as an adhesive reservoir, so that the joining strength can be improved.
 チューブ接続部44には、送液チューブ32を保持する直線状のチューブ保持孔44aが形成されている。チューブ保持孔44aは、軸方向に内径が一定のストレート部44a1と、先端方向に向かって内径が増大するテーパ部44a2とを有する。テーパ部44a2が設けられているため、組立工程において送液チューブ32をチューブ保持孔44aに挿入する際に、送液チューブ32を挿入しやすい。また、送液チューブ32が接着剤でチューブ接続部44に接合される場合、テーパ部44a2が接着剤溜まりとして機能するため、接合強度を向上させることができる。 The tube connecting portion 44 is formed with a linear tube holding hole 44a for holding the liquid feeding tube 32. The tube holding hole 44a has a straight portion 44a1 having a constant inner diameter in the axial direction and a tapered portion 44a2 having an inner diameter increasing in the distal direction. Since the tapered portion 44a2 is provided, it is easy to insert the liquid feeding tube 32 when the liquid feeding tube 32 is inserted into the tube holding hole 44a in the assembly process. Further, when the liquid feeding tube 32 is bonded to the tube connecting portion 44 with an adhesive, the taper portion 44a2 functions as an adhesive reservoir, so that the bonding strength can be improved.
 フランジ部46は、針接続部42の外周面から径方向外方に突出し且つ周方向に一周する円環状に形成されている。フランジ部46は、適宜の接合手段(例えば、接着剤、超音波溶着等)によりガイド受筒部40aに接合されている。上述した針接続部42は、フランジ部46の先端面46a及び基端面46bから軸方向に突出している。図6Aに示すように、フランジ部46の基端面46bには、基端方向に突出する位置決め用凸部48が設けられている。位置決め用凸部48は、基部38aの中心軸を中心とする円周上に配置されている。 The flange portion 46 is formed in an annular shape that protrudes outward in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface of the needle connection portion 42 and makes one round in the circumferential direction. The flange part 46 is joined to the guide receiving cylinder part 40a by an appropriate joining means (for example, adhesive, ultrasonic welding, etc.). The needle connecting portion 42 described above protrudes in the axial direction from the distal end surface 46 a and the proximal end surface 46 b of the flange portion 46. As shown in FIG. 6A, a positioning convex portion 48 protruding in the proximal direction is provided on the proximal end surface 46 b of the flange portion 46. The positioning convex portion 48 is disposed on a circumference centered on the central axis of the base portion 38a.
 図6Aにおいて、位置決め用凸部48は、周方向に間隔を置いて複数設けられている。このため、フランジ部46が接着剤によりガイド受筒部40aに接合される場合、周方向に隣接する位置決め用凸部48間に接着剤が入り込むため、接合強度を向上させることができる。なお、位置決め用凸部48は、周方向に一周する円環状に形成されてもよい。位置決め用凸部48が超音波溶着によりガイド受筒部40aに接合される場合、接合面積を稼ぐため、位置決め用凸部48は、周方向に一周する円環状に形成されるのがよい。 6A, a plurality of positioning convex portions 48 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. For this reason, when the flange part 46 is joined to the guide receiving cylinder part 40a with an adhesive, the adhesive enters between the positioning convex parts 48 adjacent in the circumferential direction, so that the joining strength can be improved. The positioning convex portion 48 may be formed in an annular shape that makes a round in the circumferential direction. When the positioning convex portion 48 is joined to the guide receiving tube portion 40a by ultrasonic welding, the positioning convex portion 48 is preferably formed in an annular shape that makes one round in the circumferential direction.
 図2に示すガイド受筒部40aは、ガイド受筒部40aの外周面に、コネクタ30を筒体16に接続する際にコネクタ30を把持するための把持部50cを有する。コネクタ30を筒体16に接続する際、針先36bが封止部材24に刺さり始める前に、ガイド受筒部40aの内周面は、ガイド筒部22の外周面と当接可能である。ガイド受筒部40aは、基部38aから突出した針管36を囲む中空円筒状の部材であり、基部38aのフランジ部46の基端面46bに接合されている。具体的に、ガイド受筒部40aは、ガイド筒部22の外周面に嵌合可能な円筒状の外側筒部50と、基部38aのフランジ部46に接合された円環状の先端壁52と、基部38aから針管36に沿って突出し、外側筒部50の内側(針管36と外側筒部50との間)に設けられるとともに固定部材26に係合可能な係合部54とを有する。 2 has a gripping portion 50c for gripping the connector 30 when the connector 30 is connected to the cylindrical body 16 on the outer peripheral surface of the guide receiving tube portion 40a. When connecting the connector 30 to the cylindrical body 16, the inner peripheral surface of the guide receiving cylinder portion 40 a can come into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the guide cylindrical portion 22 before the needle tip 36 b starts to pierce the sealing member 24. The guide tube portion 40a is a hollow cylindrical member surrounding the needle tube 36 protruding from the base portion 38a, and is joined to the base end surface 46b of the flange portion 46 of the base portion 38a. Specifically, the guide receiving tube portion 40a includes a cylindrical outer tube portion 50 that can be fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the guide tube portion 22, an annular tip wall 52 joined to the flange portion 46 of the base portion 38a, It has an engaging portion 54 that protrudes from the base portion 38 a along the needle tube 36 and is provided inside the outer tube portion 50 (between the needle tube 36 and the outer tube portion 50) and engageable with the fixing member 26.
 外側筒部50の内周面50aは、基端方向に向かって内径が増大するテーパ状に形成されている。なお、外側筒部50の内周面50aは、軸方向に内径が一定のストレート状に形成されていてもよい。外側筒部50の基端には、コネクタ側ガタツキ防止部50bが設けられている。コネクタ側ガタツキ防止部50bは、径方向外方に膨出し且つ周方向に一周する円環状に形成されている。 The inner peripheral surface 50a of the outer cylinder part 50 is formed in a taper shape whose inner diameter increases in the proximal direction. In addition, the inner peripheral surface 50a of the outer cylinder part 50 may be formed in a straight shape having a constant inner diameter in the axial direction. At the base end of the outer cylinder portion 50, a connector side rattle prevention portion 50b is provided. The connector-side rattle prevention portion 50b is formed in an annular shape that bulges outward in the radial direction and makes one round in the circumferential direction.
 先端壁52は、外側筒部50の先端に連なるとともに、基部38aの軸に垂直な板状部である。図7Bに示すように、先端壁52の先端面には、基端方向に凹む円環状の位置決め用凹部56が設けられている。位置決め用凹部56は、基部38aの中心軸を中心とする円周上に配置されている。位置決め用凹部56には、位置決め用凸部48が嵌合するとともに、適宜の接合手段(例えば、接着剤、超音波融着等)により接合されている。 The distal end wall 52 is a plate-like portion that is continuous with the distal end of the outer cylindrical portion 50 and is perpendicular to the axis of the base portion 38a. As shown in FIG. 7B, an annular positioning recess 56 that is recessed in the proximal direction is provided on the distal end surface of the distal end wall 52. The positioning recess 56 is disposed on a circumference centered on the central axis of the base 38a. A positioning convex portion 48 is fitted into the positioning concave portion 56 and is joined by an appropriate joining means (for example, adhesive, ultrasonic fusion, etc.).
 なお、上記の構成に代えて、位置決め用凹部56が基部38aのフランジ部46に設けられ、位置決め用凸部48がガイド受筒部40aの先端壁52に設けられてもよい。 Instead of the above configuration, the positioning concave portion 56 may be provided in the flange portion 46 of the base portion 38a, and the positioning convex portion 48 may be provided in the distal end wall 52 of the guide receiving tube portion 40a.

 次に、上記のように構成された薬液投与システム10の作用を説明する。 Next, the operation of the drug solution administration system 10 configured as described above will be described.
 薬液投与システム10において、使用前の初期状態では図2に示すように、薬液投与装置12には投与器具14が接続されていない。そこで、薬液投与システム10の使用に際し、薬液投与装置12には投与器具14が接続される。具体的には、コネクタ30が筒体16の先端筒部16dに接続される。 In the drug solution administration system 10, as shown in FIG. 2, the administration device 14 is not connected to the drug solution administration device 12 in the initial state before use. Therefore, when using the drug solution administration system 10, the administration device 14 is connected to the drug solution administration device 12. Specifically, the connector 30 is connected to the distal end tubular portion 16 d of the tubular body 16.
 そして、薬液投与装置12は、患者の皮膚に貼り付ける、あるいは衣服に装着する等して、患者に取り付けられる。次に、投与器具14の図示しない注入針が患者の皮膚に穿刺される。なお、皮膚への注入針の穿刺前に薬液投与装置12が患者に取り付けられてもよい。 Then, the chemical solution administration device 12 is attached to the patient by attaching it to the patient's skin or attaching it to clothes. Next, an injection needle (not shown) of the administration device 14 is punctured into the patient's skin. Note that the drug solution administration device 12 may be attached to the patient before the puncture of the injection needle into the skin.
 そして、薬液投与装置12が所定の動作開始指令を受けると、押し子機構によりガスケットが押圧され、筒体16内でガスケットが前進することにより、筒体16内の薬液Mが押し出される。筒体16内から押し出された薬液Mは、患者に穿刺された投与器具14を介して患者の体内に投与(注入)される。 Then, when the chemical liquid administration device 12 receives a predetermined operation start command, the gasket is pressed by the pusher mechanism, and the chemical liquid M in the cylindrical body 16 is pushed out by advancing the gasket in the cylindrical body 16. The drug solution M pushed out from the cylindrical body 16 is administered (injected) into the patient's body through the administration device 14 punctured by the patient.
 コネクタ30と筒体16の先端筒部16dとの接続は、具体的には、以下のように行われる。 Specifically, the connection between the connector 30 and the distal end cylindrical portion 16d of the cylindrical body 16 is performed as follows.
 針先36bを筒体16の封止部材24と対向させた状態で、コネクタ30をハウジング18に向かって移動させることにより、コネクタ本体34のガイド受筒部40a内にハウジング18のガイド筒部22を挿入する。具体的には、図8に示すように、コネクタ本体34を先端筒部16d及びガイド筒部22に対向させるとともに針先36bを筒体16の封止部材24と対向させた状態で、コネクタ本体34をハウジング本体20側へと移動させることにより、コネクタ30と先端筒部16dとの接続が開始する。この場合、ハウジング18のガイド筒部22及びコネクタ30の外側筒部50が、嵌合用のガイドとなるため、コネクタ30は先端筒部16dの軸方向に沿って真直ぐ移動することが可能である。すなわち、外側筒部50の内周面50aが、ガイド筒部22の外周面22aによってスライド支持される。 The connector 30 is moved toward the housing 18 with the needle tip 36b facing the sealing member 24 of the cylindrical body 16, so that the guide cylindrical portion 22 of the housing 18 is inserted into the guide receiving cylindrical portion 40a of the connector main body 34. Insert. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the connector main body 34 is opposed to the distal end cylindrical portion 16 d and the guide cylindrical portion 22, and the needle tip 36 b is opposed to the sealing member 24 of the cylindrical body 16. By moving 34 to the housing body 20 side, the connection between the connector 30 and the distal end cylindrical portion 16d is started. In this case, since the guide tube portion 22 of the housing 18 and the outer tube portion 50 of the connector 30 serve as a fitting guide, the connector 30 can move straight along the axial direction of the tip tube portion 16d. That is, the inner peripheral surface 50 a of the outer cylindrical portion 50 is slidably supported by the outer peripheral surface 22 a of the guide cylindrical portion 22.
 図9に示すように、コネクタ30をさらにハウジング本体20側へと移動させると、封止部材24への針管36の穿刺が開始するとともに、係合部54が先端筒部16dとガイド筒部22との間に挿入される。この場合、封止部材24への針管36の穿刺が開始する前(針先36bが封止部材24に接触する前)に、係合部54(具体的には、ツメ部54b)が固定部材26の外周面に接触する。従って、係合部54が固定部材26により支持され始めた後に針管36が穿刺を開始する。このため、針管36が、封止部材24の軸に対して斜めに穿刺されることがない。 As shown in FIG. 9, when the connector 30 is further moved to the housing body 20 side, puncture of the needle tube 36 into the sealing member 24 is started, and the engaging portion 54 is connected to the distal end tubular portion 16d and the guide tubular portion 22. Inserted between. In this case, before the puncture of the needle tube 36 into the sealing member 24 is started (before the needle tip 36b contacts the sealing member 24), the engaging portion 54 (specifically, the claw portion 54b) is the fixing member. 26 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface. Therefore, the needle tube 36 starts puncturing after the engaging portion 54 is supported by the fixing member 26. For this reason, the needle tube 36 is not punctured obliquely with respect to the axis of the sealing member 24.
 図10に示すように、コネクタ30をさらにハウジング本体20側へと移動させると、針管36が封止部材24に穿刺される。この結果、針管36は垂直に封止部材24を貫通し、針管36の内腔が筒体16内の薬液室16aと連通する。また、針管36の封止部材24への穿刺と並行して、係合部54のツメ部54bが固定部材26の係合突起26fに押されて、係合アーム54aが外側に撓む(弾性変形する)。 As shown in FIG. 10, when the connector 30 is further moved toward the housing body 20, the needle tube 36 is punctured into the sealing member 24. As a result, the needle tube 36 vertically penetrates the sealing member 24, and the lumen of the needle tube 36 communicates with the drug solution chamber 16 a in the cylindrical body 16. In parallel with the puncture of the sealing member 24 of the needle tube 36, the claw portion 54b of the engaging portion 54 is pushed by the engaging protrusion 26f of the fixing member 26, and the engaging arm 54a bends outward (elasticity). Deform).
 図11に示すように、針管36で封止部材24を貫通後に、コネクタ30をさらにハウジング本体20側へと移動させると、係合部54のツメ部54bが固定部材26の係合突起26fを乗り越えて径方向内方に弾性復元することで、係合部54と係合突起26fとの係合が完了する。これにより、コネクタ30と先端筒部16dとの接続(投与器具14と薬液投与装置12との接続)が完了する。コネクタ30と先端筒部16dとの接続が完了した状態では、コネクタ側ガタツキ防止部50bがハウジング本体20の外面に当接する。 As shown in FIG. 11, when the connector 30 is further moved to the housing body 20 side after penetrating the sealing member 24 with the needle tube 36, the claw portion 54 b of the engaging portion 54 causes the engaging protrusion 26 f of the fixing member 26 to move. By overcoming and elastically restoring inward in the radial direction, the engagement between the engagement portion 54 and the engagement protrusion 26f is completed. Thereby, the connection (connection between the administration device 14 and the drug solution administration device 12) between the connector 30 and the distal end cylinder portion 16d is completed. In a state where the connection between the connector 30 and the distal end cylindrical portion 16d is completed, the connector-side rattling prevention portion 50b comes into contact with the outer surface of the housing body 20.
 この場合、本実施形態に係る薬液投与システム10は、以下の効果を奏する。 In this case, the drug solution administration system 10 according to the present embodiment has the following effects.
 薬液投与システム10によれば、コネクタ30と先端筒部16dとの接続時に、コネクタ30が先端筒部16dに対して軸方向に相対移動することにより係合部54が固定部材26に係合するとともに、ハウジング18に設けられたガイド筒部22によりコネクタ本体34がガイドされる。従って、針管36は、封止部材24に対して回転することなく、且つ傾くことなく封止部材24に穿刺される。このため、コネクタ30と先端筒部16dとの接続の際、針管36が封止部材24を削り取るコアリングが発生することを効果的に抑制することができる。 According to the medicinal solution administration system 10, when the connector 30 is connected to the distal end cylindrical portion 16 d, the engagement portion 54 engages with the fixing member 26 by the relative movement of the connector 30 relative to the distal end cylindrical portion 16 d in the axial direction. At the same time, the connector main body 34 is guided by the guide tube portion 22 provided in the housing 18. Therefore, the needle tube 36 is punctured into the sealing member 24 without rotating with respect to the sealing member 24 and without tilting. For this reason, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of coring in which the needle tube 36 scrapes the sealing member 24 when the connector 30 and the distal end cylinder portion 16d are connected.
 コネクタ本体34は、針管36を囲む外側筒部50を有し、外側筒部50の内周面50aが、ガイド筒部22の外周面22aに嵌合可能である。この構成により、コネクタ30と先端筒部16dとの接続時に、ガイド筒部22によってコネクタ30をより安定的にガイドすることが可能となる。 The connector main body 34 has an outer cylindrical portion 50 surrounding the needle tube 36, and the inner peripheral surface 50 a of the outer cylindrical portion 50 can be fitted to the outer peripheral surface 22 a of the guide cylindrical portion 22. With this configuration, the connector 30 can be more stably guided by the guide tube portion 22 when the connector 30 and the distal end tube portion 16d are connected.
 係合部54は、外側筒部50の内側に設けられている。この構成により、係合部54と固定部材26との係合部位を外側筒部50により覆うことができるため、係合部54と固定部材26との係合を確実に維持することが可能となる。 The engaging portion 54 is provided inside the outer cylindrical portion 50. With this configuration, the engaging portion between the engaging portion 54 and the fixing member 26 can be covered with the outer cylindrical portion 50, so that the engagement between the engaging portion 54 and the fixing member 26 can be reliably maintained. Become.
 係合部54は、周方向に複数配置されたツメ部54bを有する。この構成により、係合部54が適度な力で固定部材26に係合することができ、容易には外れない係合構造を構築することができる。 The engaging portion 54 has a plurality of claw portions 54b arranged in the circumferential direction. With this configuration, the engaging portion 54 can be engaged with the fixing member 26 with an appropriate force, and an engaging structure that cannot be easily detached can be constructed.
 係合部54は、周方向に間隔を置いて複数配置されるとともに径方向に弾性変形可能な係合アーム54aと、各係合アーム54aの自由端に設けられたツメ部54bとを有する。この構成により、コネクタ30と先端筒部16dとを接続する際の抵抗(接続抵抗)が低減されるため接続が容易である一方、係合時にはツメ部54bが引っ掛かることで接続後には外れにくい係合構造を構築することができる。 The engaging portion 54 includes a plurality of engaging arms 54a that are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction and can be elastically deformed in the radial direction, and a claw portion 54b provided at a free end of each engaging arm 54a. With this configuration, the resistance (connection resistance) when connecting the connector 30 and the distal end cylindrical portion 16d is reduced, so that the connection is easy. On the other hand, the claw portion 54b is caught during engagement, so that it is difficult to come off after the connection. A composite structure can be constructed.
 係合アーム54a及びツメ部54bは、針管36を中心とする円周に沿う円弧状に形成されている(図7A)。この構成により、係合部54と固定部材26との係合力を効果的に高めることができる。 The engaging arm 54a and the claw portion 54b are formed in an arc shape along the circumference centering on the needle tube 36 (FIG. 7A). With this configuration, the engagement force between the engagement portion 54 and the fixing member 26 can be effectively increased.
 コネクタ30を筒体16に接続する際、係合部54は、固定部材26の外周面上を摺動するように構成されている(図9)。この構成により、コネクタ30と先端筒部16dとの接続の際、針管36が封止部材24に対して傾くことが一層抑制されるため、コアリングの発生をより効果的に抑制することができる。 When connecting the connector 30 to the cylindrical body 16, the engaging portion 54 is configured to slide on the outer peripheral surface of the fixing member 26 (FIG. 9). With this configuration, the needle tube 36 is further prevented from being tilted with respect to the sealing member 24 when the connector 30 and the distal end cylindrical portion 16d are connected, so that the occurrence of coring can be more effectively suppressed. .
 コネクタ30を筒体16に接続する際、針先36bが封止部材24に刺さり始める前に、係合部54は、固定部材26の外周面に接触するように構成されている(図9)。この構成により、針管36が傾いた状態で封止部材24に穿刺されることがないため、コアリングの発生をより効果的に抑制することができる。 When connecting the connector 30 to the cylindrical body 16, the engaging portion 54 is configured to contact the outer peripheral surface of the fixing member 26 before the needle tip 36 b starts to pierce the sealing member 24 (FIG. 9). . With this configuration, since the sealing member 24 is not punctured while the needle tube 36 is tilted, the occurrence of coring can be more effectively suppressed.
 ハウジング本体20は、ガイド筒部22の基端に隣接する当接外周面20aを有し、コネクタ30と先端筒部16dとの接続完了状態で、コネクタ本体34のガイド受筒部40aの突出端部は、ハウジング18に当接するように構成されている(図11)。この構成により、コネクタ30と先端筒部16dとの接続後、薬液投与装置12の使用中にコネクタ30とハウジング18との接続部にガタツキが発生することが抑制される。このため、ユーザに不安感を与えることがないとともに、液密性の低下を防止することが可能となる。 The housing body 20 has an abutting outer peripheral surface 20a adjacent to the proximal end of the guide tube portion 22, and the protruding end of the guide receiving tube portion 40a of the connector body 34 when the connector 30 and the distal end tube portion 16d are completely connected. The part is configured to contact the housing 18 (FIG. 11). With this configuration, after the connection between the connector 30 and the distal end cylindrical portion 16d, the occurrence of rattling at the connection portion between the connector 30 and the housing 18 during use of the drug solution administration device 12 is suppressed. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the user from feeling uneasy and to prevent a decrease in liquid tightness.

The proximal end surface of the peripheral wall portion 26b of the fixing member 26 is close to or in contact with the distal end surface of the shoulder portion 16c (FIG. 2). With this configuration, rattling of the fixing member 26 with respect to the distal end cylindrical portion 16d is prevented, and thus the adhesion between the sealing member 24 and the distal end cylindrical portion 16d can be maintained. For this reason, liquid-tightness can be maintained satisfactorily and chemical liquid leakage can be prevented.
 先端筒部16dは、先端筒部16dの外周面から径方向外側に向かって突出したガタツキ防止凸部16gを有する。固定部材26の基端面26gは、先端筒部16dのガタツキ防止凸部16gに近接又は当接している。この構成により、先端筒部16dに対する固定部材26のガタツキが防止されるため、封止部材24と先端筒部16dとの密着性を保持することができる。このため、液密性を良好に維持し、薬液Mの漏れを効果的に防止することができる。 The front end cylinder part 16d has a backlash prevention convex part 16g that protrudes radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the front end cylinder part 16d. The base end face 26g of the fixing member 26 is in close proximity to or in contact with the rattle-preventing convex part 16g of the distal end cylindrical part 16d. With this configuration, rattling of the fixing member 26 with respect to the distal end cylindrical portion 16d is prevented, and thus the adhesion between the sealing member 24 and the distal end cylindrical portion 16d can be maintained. For this reason, liquid tightness can be maintained satisfactorily and leakage of the chemical M can be effectively prevented.

A positioning recess 56 is provided. With this configuration, when the base portion 38a and the guide receiving tube portion 40a are assembled, the center alignment of the base portion 38a and the guide receiving tube portion 40a can be easily performed, and the assembling accuracy can be improved.
 封止部材24の外周部(封止基部24a)は、先端筒部16dの先端面16deと固定部材26の先端部内面(挟持部26dの基端面)との間に挟まれて軸方向に圧縮されている。この構成により、封止部材24の高い密着性が得られるため、筒体16の所望の耐圧性を容易に確保することができる。 The outer peripheral portion (sealing base portion 24a) of the sealing member 24 is sandwiched between the distal end surface 16de of the distal end cylindrical portion 16d and the inner end portion of the fixing member 26 (the proximal end surface of the clamping portion 26d) and compressed in the axial direction. Has been. With this configuration, high adhesion of the sealing member 24 can be obtained, so that the desired pressure resistance of the cylindrical body 16 can be easily ensured.
 固定部材26の周壁部26bの内周面には、固定部材26が先端筒部16dに取り付けられる前に固定部材26からの封止部材24の脱落を阻止するための係止突起26eが設けられている(図5B)。この構成により、組立工程において固定部材26を先端筒部16dに取り付ける際に、固定部材26内に封止部材24を保持させておくことができる。このため、封止部材24及び固定部材26を先端筒部16dに取り付ける組付作業を容易に行うことができる。 The inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 26b of the fixing member 26 is provided with a locking projection 26e for preventing the sealing member 24 from falling off the fixing member 26 before the fixing member 26 is attached to the distal end cylindrical portion 16d. (FIG. 5B). With this configuration, the sealing member 24 can be held in the fixing member 26 when the fixing member 26 is attached to the distal end cylindrical portion 16d in the assembly process. For this reason, the assembling work for attaching the sealing member 24 and the fixing member 26 to the distal end cylindrical portion 16d can be easily performed.

 封止部材24は、先端筒部16d内に挿入され、先端筒部16dの内周面により径方向内側に向かって圧縮された基端凸部24cを有するため、封止部材24による液密性を一層向上させることができる。基端凸部24cが径方向内側に向かって圧縮されて基端凸部24cと先端筒部16dの内周面との間に液密シールが形成されているため、先端開口部16fを確実に封止することができる。 Since the sealing member 24 has a proximal end convex portion 24c that is inserted into the distal end cylindrical portion 16d and compressed radially inward by the inner peripheral surface of the distal end cylindrical portion 16d, the liquid-tightness of the sealing member 24 Can be further improved. Since the base end convex portion 24c is compressed radially inward and a liquid-tight seal is formed between the base end convex portion 24c and the inner peripheral surface of the distal end cylindrical portion 16d, the distal end opening portion 16f is securely inserted. It can be sealed.
 封止部材24は、先端孔部26d1に挿入された先端凸部24bと、先端筒部16d内に挿入された基端凸部24cとを有し、弾性変形する前の自然状態で、先端凸部24b及び基端凸部24cは、軸方向に対称形状である。この構成により、組立工程において先端筒部16dと固定部材26との間に封止部材24を配置する際に、先端凸部24bと基端凸部24cとを識別する必要がないため、簡単に組み付けることができる。 The sealing member 24 has a distal end convex portion 24b inserted into the distal end hole portion 26d1 and a proximal end convex portion 24c inserted into the distal end cylindrical portion 16d, and the distal end convex portion is in a natural state before elastic deformation. The part 24b and the base end convex part 24c are symmetrical in the axial direction. With this configuration, when the sealing member 24 is disposed between the distal end cylindrical portion 16d and the fixing member 26 in the assembly process, it is not necessary to distinguish between the distal end convex portion 24b and the proximal end convex portion 24c.
